CHICAGO (AP) - Edmonton Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk left Sunday night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks after a collision at the net in the second period.

Dubnyk made a nice pad save on a streaking Marian Hossa before the posts were dislodged when the right winger and Edmonton center Teemu Hartikainen converged on the goal. Hartikainen practically skated over the prone Dubnyk, who was down for several minutes before he was escorted from the ice.

A trainer appeared to be examining Dubnyk's head and neck.

Yann Danis came in for the Oilers, who had a 4-2 lead at the time of the injury.

"We don't see any signs of head injury," Oilers coach Ralph Krueger said. "We didn't see anything but a situation where there was a lot of risk in putting him back in there. With that kind of impact, we need some time overnight to fully assess him in the morning."
